Hi

I have some commitments back home and wanted to return back after completing the required process in my first landing.

After how many days I can leave to my home country after the first landing? And withing how many days/years, I have to return to canada inorder to get Canadian citizenship.

You can land and leave immediately if you wish.

To keep you PR status you must live in Canada for 2 out of every 5 rolling years.

At the present time, to qualify for citizenship you must have lived in Canada for 3 out of the past 4 years. This is changing to 4 out of 6 years this summer.
